Owen and I exchanged a message or two recently about converting
GtkSpinButton to use binding sets.  After spinning my wheels a bit on it, I
concluded I'm going to need some help.  Is there a clean before/after
example I could look at this would make the transition to binding sets
clearer?  I looked at the before/after change for GtkEntry (1.90 vs 1.91),
but so many other changes happened at the same time I can't really see the
forest for the trees.

Which brings me to the real point of this message.  What's the status of
converting to binding sets and when is it anticipated to be complete?  I
have a client that will need this stuff (the current GtkSpinButton key press
handling stuff obscures attempts to use the arrow keys with modifiers), so I
have a little window of opportunity here to contribute something, but I
think I'll need a bit of help wrapping my brain around the old vs. new way
of doing things.
